Bible Note: Greetings, Babylon the Great is considered by many of the Biblical Prophets to have been the most glorious and influential empire, not necessarily the most powerful or the longest standing. In Revelation 17 and 18, John is referring to another nation that is similar to Babylon in glory and influence. The image of the harlot riding a dragon is largely symbolic. This is a warning as well as a prediction of a nation's corrupting influence and fall. As to which nation that is referring to, take your pick. Right now, we can't say for certain. Jalek. |
